Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • Occasionally upright in his stance, leading to inconsistent hand placement and vulnerability to defenders.
  • Processing and recognition of defensive schemes need refinement, affecting his ability to counter stunts and blitzes effectively.
  • Shows a tendency for over-aggression, resulting in missed blocks against more elusive defenders.
  • Needs to improve pad level and leverage to maintain consistency against powerful rushers.
  • Occasional lapses in balance and technique, this is much more obvious in the run game where his blocking needs a lot of work
  • Needs to improve the coordination of his hands and feet. Sometimes loses balance in the run game, lunging into contact rather than sinking his hips and delivering a block.

Scouting Report: Summary
Kingsley Suamataia brings to the draft a solid foundation in pass protection, characterized by his excellent quickness, hand technique, and ability to neutralize edge rushers. His performance in both left and right tackle positions showcases his adaptability and potential to secure the perimeter against the NFL's elite defensive talents. However, while his pass-blocking skills are notably advanced, Suamataia's capabilities as a run blocker present an area for development. The physicality and precision required to dominate in the run game are aspects that he must enhance to become a more complete offensive lineman.

In the run game, Suamataia needs to work on maintaining a lower pad level, leveraging his blocks more consistently, and improving his footwork to create and sustain running lanes. The occasional lapses in balance and the tendency to overextend against moving targets underscore the need for refinement. Developing these areas of his game will be crucial for him to maximize his effectiveness in an NFL offensive scheme that demands versatility and reliability from its linemen.

Suamataia's draft stock remains high due to his undeniable elite athletic ability strengths and super high upside. At just 21 years old, his physical tools, combined with his experience and versatility, make him a promising prospect With quality coaching and development, Suamataia has the potential to evolve into a standout offensive tackle in the NFL, particularly in pass-first systems that can harness his excellent pass protection skills from day one.

Seems like he still some work to do.  A little showing at the Senior Bowl helps but what's on tape and what he done then in the bigger picture is what matters. He has huge upside no doubt. We won't be starting a rookie at RT this year anyways we'll sign a FA to start.
